Cheddar Popovers with Avocado & Fried Egg are a small-batch breakfast or brunch that feels a little dramatic in the best possible way. The popovers bake up tall, airy, and golden, with pockets of melted cheddar inside, then are topped with creamy avocado and a fried egg for a breakfast that feels both elegant and deeply satisfying. It is a wonderful recipe when you want something special without making a large batch.
